Episode: Come Out Of The Cave (Daniel Floyd)
It was mentioned that Midian was a thorn in the flesh to Joseph, in the book of Genesis chapter 37. It was mentioned that Joseph's brothers did not like him and threw him into a pit, then later he was sold into slavery by Midianite traders.
I don't know if you know this, Genesis chapter 37, it won't be on the screen for you. I'm just going to tell you up to trust me that I'm giving you the correct Bible verse. But the Bible says that Joseph's brothers, if you remember this, the coat of many colors, they didn't like him. They threw him into the pit. Y'all tracking with me?
They threw him into the pit. And then whenever there was some Israelites came along, but they were Israelites that were Midianite traders. So same group of people, same pressure. Joseph determines that no matter the circumstance or the situation, whether I'm in the pit or I'm in Potiphar's house or I am in the prison, the Bible says the hand of the Lord was with him and that he rose to the top in the middle of every situation because pressure will either refine you or it will confine you.
Episode: Torn But Trusting
The speaker discussed the book of Genesis, specifically chapter 32, where Jacob wrestles with an angel throughout the night, resulting in a limp for the rest of his life. It was used as an example to illustrate trust in God during challenging times.
The Lord led me to Genesis chapter 32 for our lesson today.
I've been reading through the book of Genesis with Elijah and Kelsey, and it's been so fun.
I knew I would preach it soon because it grabbed me in a new way.
Look at Genesis, chapter 32, verse 21.
We're going to see this Bible character Jacob in a wrestling match.
Episode: This Doesn't Fit (Dharius Daniels)
The book of Genesis was mentioned as an example of the 'law of first mention' in biblical interpretation. It was utilized to discuss the enemy's initial tactic of creating an identity crisis in the Garden of Eden.
it's called the law first mentioned which means that that very often specifically in the book of genesis if you see something mentioned for the first time that might be a picture picture or a pattern of how that thing's going to be seen throughout the thread of scripture
when we see the enemy's interaction with the human species for the very first time what did he try to create he tried to create an identity crisis
you go all the way back to genesis 1 you'll see when God's having a conversation about creation he says let us make man in our image and likeness so satan tells eve God knows if you eat that you'll be like him but in genesis 1 when he created adam and eve he created them in his image and likeness
Episode: My Future Is My Focus
The podcast speaker discussed the biblical book of Genesis, focusing on the story of Joseph and his brothers, highlighting Joseph's ability to overcome hardship and find purpose in his life's trajectory.
Why don't we do this? Let's go to Genesis 49.
So now I want to back up to Genesis 49 and give you a picture of the Bible character we spoke about last week who was Joseph and what his father Jacob said to him before he died.
Now listen to this. Jacob has been speaking to all of his sons, all 12 of them.
Now first point the one who went through the most, the one who had gone through the most, the one who endured the most was blessed the most.
I want to revisit Genesis 50 from last week and kind of take it a little bit deeper than what I was able to share let's go beneath the surface of this conversation just to remind you
Episode: You Can Be Satisfied (Lisa Harper)
It was mentioned as a book that Lisa Harper had heard Steven Furtick preach from multiple times, and that it contains the revelation that humanity was made in God's image (Imago Dei).
If you brought your Bible or you have your phone, turn to Genesis chapter one, you'll know this. I've actually heard Stephen preach on this multiple times.
Then God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in his own image. In the image of God, he created him male and female. He created them.

The book of Genesis was referenced multiple times, particularly the story of Jacob, Joseph, and the well in Sychar, illustrating God's ability to take difficult situations and turn them into blessings.
It's in Genesis 48. It's really beautiful.
God sent Joseph to Egypt, and on one hand, his brothers betrayed him and sold him, but on the other hand, Joseph saw, after 13 years of what seemed to be like a setback...
When Jacob was getting ready to die, he called Joseph to his bedside. It's a really beautiful scene. This is great for Father's Day. Genesis, chapter 48.
Genesis 48, 11 is the one I want to focus your heart on for a moment. '"Israel said to Joseph..."' You're like, '"Wait a minute. I thought you were talking about Jacob."'' I am.
Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh on his left toward Israel's right hand, and brought them close to him. All of this I saw when I saw it happen on the plot of ground that Jacob gave his son Joseph.
Episode: The Beauty Of Being Stuck (Robert Madu)
It was mentioned as the first book of the Bible, detailing God's creation and how he initiated movement in everything he created, including man's heart.

Let's go in our Bibles now to Genesis chapter 40 for the final week of our series Trigger...
I Mentioned him and I read this scripture that I want to revisit now in Genesis chapter 40 concerning the power of interpretation
Which is what put him in this position in Genesis chapter 40 the situation he was in
I believe this Genesis 41. Yeah verse 15 Pharaoh said to Joseph I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it
